lacombe homes for sale: Home Mortgage Interest Deduction | Slidell Real Estate for Sale.
- 05/15/10 02:45 AM
Is Congress really serious about eliminating the Home Mortgage Interest Deduction from personal mortgages? Before you say they don't have a chance, remember what you thought about health care getting passed? There seems to be some truth to the above in Washington. Their addiction to spending is so out of control they will stop short of nothing to keep the beloved social programs going. CNBC's released this news article just yesterday. A quote from the article states the following, the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation estimates they LOSE roughly 600 Billion in tax revenues between 2009-2013 on home mortgage interest deductions. … (6 comments)

- 05/03/10 07:38 AM
It's that time of year again, Air Conditioner time that is. The mercury is now hitting the 80's consistently and the humidity is just about triple digits with all the rain. Make sure your AC is up to snuff. get your freon checked and have the maintenance person look for a leak if the freon is low. I am lucky I have a very good friend who will service my AC for virtually nothing and repair any leaks also for a nice fee. If you have a leak you need to fix it or it will just leak out and you will … (5 comments)

lacombe homes for sale: Tax Credit Deadline Looming | Slidell Real Estate for Sale
- 04/22/10 01:59 PM
The first time home buyers tax credit ends in eight days. I can't help but wonder if the housing market can grow legs or will it need another government crutch. The banks seem to be moving foreclosures to the fore front instead of stalling on them. Will contracts dry up after the end of the month? Will home prices drop further without the demand being pulled forward? I for one don't really know. I guess we will have to stay tuned?

- 04/19/10 12:50 AM
Just wanted to take the time to say thanks to Activerain and Wayne Hardin out of Seabrook Texas for the referral we closed last Thursday. Without either it would have never taken place. An active Army Sargent and his family had recently located to the area and were looking for a home. I was the third Realtor they worked with after the first two were rather disappointing. Wayne knows the family from years back and was asked to help them. He found me on activerain and the rest is history. It was a pleasure finding them a home on the Northshore … (6 comments)

- 04/17/10 10:09 AM
I have read on activerain about closing gifts and pondered the thought myself many times. Just today I think I came up with the perfect gift. Why not give an American Flag? After all isn't this the American dream to own your own home. Display the flag because we are the last free country in the world. We can still give a bottle of wine or a gift certificate along with the flag.

- 04/08/10 08:27 AM
I recently finished my taxes and found myself getting a bigger than usual refund than normal. I always mail my returns via snail mail. This year the accountant talked me into filing electronically. I agreed and said what the heck i will give it a try. I am old school and really don't trust the security of any of these websites. I found out that within three days my savings account had already been credited by the state. I then came up with a thought that concerned me quite a bit. I didn't remember giving my account number to my accountant. … (1 comments)

- 03/11/10 11:38 AM
Any one willing to wager a guess where the three highest median income counties in the United States are located? Seems Government workers are doing just well in our economy. That's right the three highest median income counties in the country all border Washington D.C. How I wish i had taken a job with the Government when I graduated from college. They always had an early retirement with lifetime pension and health insurance. Now they have great pay to go along with these benefits. The average government worker makes over $7000 more per year than a private sector worker. If any … (2 comments)
for any amount of time knows this isn't anything close to a normal real estate market. With the Federal Tax Credit for first time and repeat buyers buoying the market. With many agents making a living on short sales and foreclosures and a much smaller percentage of the usual arm lenght transactions taking place. With the coming arrival of Spring and the tax credit deadline buyers are flocking to buy homes. I wonder how much demand is being pulled forward by the rapidly approaching deadline. What will fill the vacuum once it pasts? … (5 comments)
